Review of the HSBC, Bank account:

Poor customer Service

Having been left the executor of my late sister's estate, I had the task of dealing with her accounts that were held with HSBC. At the time, I was very emotional as my sister died very suddenly. I found the bereavement department to be very unhelpful and was actually brought to tears by a very young and rude female and unhelpful member of staff. I was so upset I didn't phone back for at least a month. This call was completely different. I spoke to a lovely Irish gentleman who was so helpful and understanding, a real pleasure to deal with. He knew his area of expertise perfectly and was able to help me with everything I needed and eventually sorted the accounts for me. I just takes that one person to get HSBC that negative review in the way they treated me, but also proves they have some wonderful staff who are willing to help you in your time of need. Grateful thanks to the Irish gentleman who works in the banks bereavement section. Reviewed on: 15th February 2023

Current account

Switched accounts to HSBC and must say I'm very pleased with the service. I get relevant notifications and overview on my financial spending allocation which helps me to organise my spending better. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Excellent, reliable banking

I have been an HSBC customer for a number of years. Throughout that period, they have provided sterling service. I can state unequivocally that the bank has been an exemplar in the industry. Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Almost always a good experience

I’ve used hsbc for years. Savings, day to day accounts and mortgages. Have always found them easy to contact, staff are generally on the ball and helpful. Never had any issues, and they’ve helped me out at times as well. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 9th March 2023

Not big on credit support for lower income clients

I've been a customer since 2019 - no overdraft, credit card nor loans offered - atm used for international cash withdrawal not cost effective either Reviewed on: 9th March 2023
